70W Flexible Solar Hood Panel for Mercedes Sprinter T1N/903/904

70W Flexible Solar Hood Panel for Mercedes Sprinter T1N/903/904

No more dead car batteries! The hood solar panel system is perfect for camping or travelling. From now on, you won't have to worry about a dead battery when camping without a power connection!

The flexible solar panel for the hood of your van. Charge the vehicle battery, leisure battery, or power station(jackery, goal zero, etc) during daylight. Keep your fridges, dash cam, lighting, phones, etc., charged without starting your engine. Do not worry again about a dead battery while camping/off the grid.

It is perfectly shaped for the vehicle's hood. Easy to install plug-and-play wiring.

The cutting-edge technology incorporates special materials designed to safeguard the solar cells against extreme weather conditions such as high winds, heavy snow, and hail, guaranteeing the hood flexible solar panels' longevity and maintenance-free operation for years.

The Flexible Hood Solar Panel Benefits:

1. Keep your vehicle or auxiliary battery topped up at all times. It is ideal for overlanders and campers seeking to power devices worry-free without draining their battery.
2. Keep your power station charged. The solar panel comes with standard connectors and uses adaptors (buy separately) to charge for most of the power stations on the market.
3. Decreased hood glare. The flexible solar hod panel features a top-tier ETFE film surface that eliminates light reflection, reducing glare while driving.
4. Protect and extend battery life. The Batteries usually hit only 60% charge with daily driving, and if parked for 2-3 weeks, starting becomes unreliable. Plus, they degrade within 2-3 years. The solar hood panel maintains battery charge, tackling these issues.
5. Convenience and space-saving. The flexible hood solar panel attaches directly to the vehicle's hood; no roof rack is needed. Unlike portable solar panels that eat up cargo space with setup and storage, it's a plug-and-play system for easy installation. No extra space required and using perfectly the area which is generally not used.
6. The optional custom-fitted vinyl decal. A vinyl decal between the solar panel and hood is recommended. It protects the vehicle paint from damage and eases the change in case of damage. You can remove the panel at any later stage when you want to bring back the car to its original configuration (such as leasing vans)
7. Easy to install plug-and-play wiring. The optional Plug-and-play 10A Waterproof (IP68) MPPT solar controller. It comes pre-wired with fuses, terminals, and connectors. It features advanced MPPT control with intelligent protection against risks like reverse polarity and overcharging. Compatible with Sealed, AGM, Gel, Liquid, and Lithium-ion batteries. Easy installation of the system. A manual and videos will show you how to do. The waterproof MPPT solar controller automatically controls how much current reaches the battery and prevents overcharging.
8. efficiency increase due to adjustable angle : unlike as roof mounted panels the hood panels even offer the option to adjust the angle and positioning against the sun if you open the hood. This will ensure highest efficiency using the maximum of sunlight.
9. The Bluetooth function of the MPPT controler supports mobile phone apps and realizes the wireless monitoring

The flexible hood solar panel features:
1. Solar cell: Grade A PERC Monocrystalline solar cells with much higher efficiency and more durability than other mono solar cells.
2. Premium EFTE Film: This film features superior light transmittance and weatherproof performance and is heat, corrosion, and UV resistant.
3. Durability: Cutting-edge tech and robust materials ensure resilience against snow, ice, mud, rocks, etc. Their high durability makes them perfect for off-road vehicles.
4. Ultrathin & Lightweight: At only 3mm/0.12 inches thick, it is lightweight (60% less than conventional solar panels).

INSTALLATION:

To avoid damaging the paintwork on the hood, we recommend combining the solar panels with the vehicle-specific protective film, which is attached underneath the panels. The film is applied to the hood of your vehicle in the same way as conventional hood films or car film stickers. The film acts as a moisture and dirt barrier to protect the paintwork underneath. We recommend securing each panel to the vinyl film with 3M acrylic foam tape. Alternatively, you can apply the solar panels directly to the hood or vinyl using adhesive

Note: Installation of the flexible hood solar module system takes approximately 1.5 hours and must be carried out in a dry environment at a temperature between 18° and 35°C. In cold temperatures, the solar panel is not flexible enough to adapt to your hood and the adhesive will not stick properly.

If in doubt, we recommend that you have the installation carried out by a specialist workshop.
